I can understand reprimand and Article 15s (that is a UCMJ provision btw) but these would likely not be immediate response. But attached to repetitive actions.
As for a court martial, that would necessitate a serious breach. Again just an aside, courts martial are governed by the UCMJ. and this is the prime punishment source for the military. I would call everything else merely discipline.
Yes I took a very limited view but since we were on the subject of punishment it seemed reasonable. I did agree that there is a limit on such activity and it was frowned upon, but usually did not reach as far as serious judicial punishment.

I didnt say a word about the UCMJ Duncan. But them the UCMJ isnt the only authority of reference in these matters.

I am however refering directly to Federal Law (Titles 10, 2, and 18,) and, Department of Defense (DOD) Directives, not to mention all the specific military regulations which strictly limit a military active duty person's participation in partisan political activities as well as clearly spell out recomended punnishments for appropriate actions rangeing from reprimand to Article 15 and or court martial proceedings if nessesary.

At least as it was explained to me by military legal layman like my husband who is active duty AF and the very nice retired Lt Col in charge of the rotc program at my college.
